"To all the scientists and others that had a hand in creating the Low-FODMAP diet, I have to thank you. You saved me from a horrible life. I had suffered for 5 years and no doctor could tell me how to manage this. I was also miss-diagnosed the first time. When I went on the Low-FODMAP diet, within a week I was pretty normal. Now I am in the re-introduction stage. I am finding out what foods do not work well with me and what does. Thank you so much for the hard work and research that you do. I am so grateful. My life is so much better now. No more pain or listlessness. "

"I have today been put on a low FODMAP diet by my dietician and my husband, trying to help, bought me a pack of sprouted spelt pasta. I found your website is so helpful.......Thank you for your wonderful website which is so helpful and well-presented, comprehensive and user friendly. This guidance, and the fun presentation as well as the sophisticated tool of the app helps to make the diet feel slightly less onerous."

"The app has changed my life in 3 days after 20 years of suffering."

"I just wanted to contact you and say THANK YOU for doing the research that lead to the formulation of the FODMAP diet and app. It has changed my life. I have had gut trouble since the age of 11 and am now 60 years old. Last year, with the help of an accredited dietician, I did the FODMAP elimination diet and challenge. It all took around three months and was so very well worth it...
Now, by following your app, with my sensitivities dialled in, I am able to successfully navigate overseas travel, visits to restaurants and family get togethers without the dreaded two days camped next to the toilet afterwards. I cannot thank you enough for working all of this out. I will be forever grateful to the FODMAP researchers and team at Monash."
Mary (Australia)
"Dear Monash FODMAP research team,
I just wanted to express my gratitude for the work you do. As someone who has suffered from IBS for years without much guidance from my (previous) GI specialist, coming across your research and the FODMAP diet has been truly a life changer. Your app is a great resource and I rely on it multiple times a day.
You guys are awesome! Thank you for all your work!"
Irena (USA)
"I am writing to say the biggest thank you to all at Monash University who have worked on the Low FODMAP Diet research. I cannot tell you how much my life has changed for the better since downloading the app and taking on some of the guidelines. Also watching the video on your website was such an incredible moment. I felt like someone finally understood how I’ve been feeling for so long. Hallelujah!
I am a 42 year old female who has lived with pain and discomfort since I can remember. I have only used the app as a general guide but the change seemed to happen overnight. I no longer sit at work in pain with the bloating and cramping and can wear normal clothes again as my stomach is not so blown out and sensitive.
I can’t thank you enough. The work you are doing is changing people’s lives."
Marissa (Australia)
"Dear FODMAP research team,
The result of your work changed my health condition. For many years I had suffered from irritable bowel syndrome and left with no hope after many exams. After I started using your app I managed to identify foods to avoid and my symptoms virtually disappeared.
Thank you very much!"
